  • Peas and beans! Great recommendation. Did a little looking and they can grow in five gallon buckets, which should be perfect. Wish I could do more viney plants like melons but my space is extremely tight. I’m going to start my lettuce and carrots earlier this year so they have a chance to do something before it gets real hot out. Temps here are generally pretty nice, though I did lose an entire batch of black swallowtail caterpillars to the heat two years ago. Those little buggers can’t take much above 85F.














  • A friend of mine created similar detailing on the leather jacket they made. It involved hand-cutting tiny deltas out of plastic, adhering it to the jacket, then painting it with some kind of leather protectant to create the embossed effect. They’re not sure how well it will hold up over time but it looked great on first wear.








  • I’m so tired of being asked for tips at nearly every store. Even some self-service checkouts are now asking for tips. Like, for what? I scanned my items, I bagged my items, I had zero human interaction with your staff - what am I tipping for? And in other stores, there’s aways someone hovering over the register, watching you when the tip prompt is given, so you feel pressured to tip something. It’s absolute hell. I’m fine with tipping the bartender, barista, wait staff, hairdresser, and delivery driver. Everyone else? Yeah, no.
